ARIES (March 21-April 19). Great love and great achievements can involve great risk. Your nature helps you throw caution to the wind and take a chance on romance. Mars smiles on your fearless attitude, and the payoff will be mighty fine.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It's truth-telling time. Evaluate if what you're doing to earn a living is truly making you happy. If not, seek the counsel of a professional or even a really good friend, book or website to get you on track.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Domestic situations and calm, thoughtful, intellectual energy are highlighted. What a perfect combo to assist you in dealing with the drama. Tonight features a hunch that you absolutely should act on ASAP.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Good news comes from a long distance friend, but should be kept under wraps until you're given permission to blab. It will be difficult to keep quiet, but you are this person's trusted confidante, and restraint is most appreciated.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You wear your heart on your sleeve, leaving it vulnerable to the inevitable spills and stains. Fortunately, you bounce right back with a hot shower and a load of laundry. Don't let life sully your charitable nature.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Planets encourage you to take a rest, especially in romance. You don't have to work hard at love now. Just relax, and feel it. Let go of the barriers of confusion and static, and your heart has more room to breathe.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your creativity suffers from being overanalyzed. Believe in your abilities. Infinite possibilities are born of faith. Use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the learning that has been given to you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Planets encourage you to find your happiness through intellectual channels. As Carl Sagan said, "The brain is like a muscle. When we think well, we feel good. Understanding is a kind of ecstasy."
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you miss a deadline once, maybe you're overworked. But twice, and you're unconsciously sabotaging yourself. Get to the root of the behavior. Your ability to turn things around for the best is amazing.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Leave major decisions for another day. You have plenty of minor choices that command your immediate attention. A quiet atmosphere with caffeinated beverages is most conducive to your decision-making process.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your patience is tested when a friend calls you for advice on a topic that you've hashed out a dozen times before. Take a deep breath. This person was not ready to listen in the past but will finally take your words to heart.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It's the perfect day to maximize or upgrade your technological resources. Computers never complain, call in sick or ask for a raise ... well, almost never. Enlist the help of a technologically savvy friend, possibly Aquarius.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 26). This year will be marked as the beginning of a personal era for you -- the feeling of fulfillment you find confirms it. You're busy through the next three months, but at the end of it, you have valuable experiences (and money) to show for it. Creative problem solving makes a relationship work beautifully this summer. Love signs are Scorpio and Cancer. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 4, 11, 29 and 17.
